There was a pre-Lewinsky time, before moral relativism blurred America's vision, when associating with people like Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers would have automatically excluded someone from attaining the highest office in the land. Back then, anyone with well known connections to such America-averse personalities would have been rejected by a super-majority of the electorate during primary season and almost certainly blocked by the Democratic Party before they could have gotten to within a mile of the White House. But those days -- when patriotic, true liberals like Joe Lieberman were considered typical Democratic Party politicians -- are gone. Now politicians like Lieberman are banished to the Party's periphery and leftists, not liberals, like Denis Kucinich, Bernie Sanders, Jim McDermott, John Kerry, (who served in Vietnam), Jim McGovern, Patrick Leahy, Richard Durbin, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have replaced them.

'The Democratic Party has devolved into a club for the illegitimately aggrieved, the self-absorbed, the self-hating and the perpetually pissed-off. It is a sanctuary where solipsistic malcontents and their disjointed causes find refuge and support. It has long ceased being an earnest gathering of broad minds where man's timeless problems are examined against the backdrop of the Constitution and solutions to them proposed based on the actual realities of the human condition. It is now the political province of the intellectually deceased, where frightened, lock-step ideologues and other small men and women concoct and promote divisive, destructive, weird and cowardly policies developed within a not-so-quaint, quasi-Marxist stricture of gender, class and race. ' *PING*
Couldn't have said it better myself, and it certainly does articulate the Democrat Party's current condition and status among the American people.

The last time a politician was held responsible for pre-office hijinx was when Bork got Borked.

This is one of the best articles I have seen regarding why we are having the problems we are having.

Great article. Now how about getting some of these traitors tried for treason. I demand John Kerry be tried for treason.

I agree. Coupled with the New Republic article regarding Osama Obama; it is really enlightning and something most of us have been thinking anyway.

Nevadan: I’m not sure what you mean by this? Are you saying Robert Bork didn’t pass the Senate confirmation hearings because of pre-office hijinx? If so, what pre-office hijinx are you refering too?

And yet the electorate is still split evenly between R and D. I just don’t get it.

Democrats are a party of those who have rejected the truth. Because they have rejected the truth, they have been turned over to a lie. They can rightly be defined as the "blind leading the blind." The result will be a nation that ends up in the ditch. This is the primary reason we have gas at $4 a gallon now. They have refused to let us drill in this country. Only one example of where they will lead the nation.
"Professing themselves to be wise, they have become fools."

"The last time a politician was held responsible for pre-office hijinx was when Bork got Borked."Really? And so what "hijinx" did Robert Bork commit? As I remember, his only failing was being a conservative while the Democrats had control of the Congress.
You aren't one of those that think Watergate was about "Nixon stealing tapes", are you?
